Stuka in unusual versions

[tony.osborne]

During ww2, the Luftwaffe tested some versions of his famous dive bomber JU-87 Stuka. The link below provides a small colection of pictures, some rare and unknown to me, these versions. I hope you enjoy.

IIRC, the Stuka with the folding wings was intended for use on the German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin.
The one with the two vertical stabilizers appears to be the Ju 87 V1 or the original V2 before they went with the single tail.
The Stuka was an amazing aircraft for its time, and it even had an automatic pull-out system to assist with post-attack recovery. However, since it first flew in 1935, it was behind the curve by the time WWII was in full gear.
